Her name was Royal Bonnie. She came into this world on May 12,1979 She was born in Fairbury Nebraska. She was a huge horse, standing well over 16 hands tall yet she was a gentle as a spring rain. Her voice never failed to greet us every morning when we went to the barn to feed her and turn her out to pasture each day. She had Blue eyes and was the one horse I could trust with a child on her back, a novice rider or a more experienced one. Her health had been on the decline for a while and there seemed there was nothing we could do about it. We were all stumped as to why she wasn't getting better and believe me, we tried everything. 3 different Vets checked her and nobody caught the fact that Bonnie was expecting. Needless to say we were all floored when on June 5, 2004 at about 12:45 AM Bonnie gave birth to a bouncing baby girl (horsemen call little girl horses a Filly) <not being a real horseman I have no idea how to spell that!>). The bad news is, that was the last thing Bonnie ever did. Erik Liljeqrin from Channel 8 did a beautiful story about what happened next...........(press the ">" arrow on the lower left side of the media player, then be patient, it takes time to load then )
